KPMG is an industry leading firm that serves clients on a variety of specialized projects that help them to work smarter, grow faster and compete better.
Why join our contract workforce?
- Interesting work: Deliver work that matters to you. We provide the opportunity to get involved in highly technical, complex and interesting projects where you can leverage your specific skillset and expertise to add value.
- Enrich your skills: Access to best-in-class technology, market intelligence and resources to advance your unique technical skills and expertise. Work alongside diverse, passionate and highly skilled professionals working together to drive innovation.
- Flexible opportunities: Find projects that match when and where you want to work.
The opportunity Owns the reporting and analytics layer that sits outside S/4HANA — the information BES and engagement leadership actually use to run the business. Accountable for the target data model, the conformance of downstream models to new S/4 master data and enterprise structures, the continued Oracle EPM interlock, and a Power BI estate that reconciles to source. This is the workstream the business will judge the program by, because most of the firm will experience S/4HANA through a report rather than a transaction. The candidate may be required to travel to Toronto Office once in a while to participate in fit gap design sessions and testing activities.
What You Will Do
- Own the analytics and reporting strategy end to end: target data architecture, semantic layer, and the boundary between S/4 embedded reporting and downstream Power BI
- Own the retrofit of all downstream data models and reporting to new S/4 master data and enterprise structures — company code, profit centre, cost centre, functional area and engagement dimensions — including rebuilt semantic models, historical comparability and the mapping of legacy structures forward
- Own the downstream conformance of Oracle EPM to new S/4 master data and enterprise structures — rebuilding EPM hierarchies, dimensions and mappings to consume S/4 as source, and managing the transition of planning and consolidation onto the new structures
- Own the Power BI estate for the program — data models, workspace and governance model, refresh and performance, and the migration of existing reports to new sources
- Own reporting requirements for BES and engagement leadership: engagement profitability, WIP and realization, utilization, pipeline and financial performance
- Define and govern the KPI and metric dictionary — single definitions, agreed owners, and the reconciliation rules that stop two reports disagreeing
- Own data governance for reporting: lineage, quality measures, certified datasets and access model
- Own report rationalization — decide what gets rebuilt, what gets retired, and hold that line
- Manage workstream scope, plan, deliverables, RAID and team; represent the workstream at Design Authority Council
Your Qualifications
- 12–15+ years total; 8+ in data and analytics; 4+ leading a data/reporting workstream on a major transformation.
- Led an analytics and reporting workstream on a full-lifecycle ERP program, through go-live
- Has led a downstream conformance effort — rebuilding EPM, warehouse or BI models onto a new ERP master data and enterprise structures. Materially different from building new models on a greenfield source
- Deep Power BI at enterprise scale: semantic modelling, DAX, workspace governance,
performance — not report authoring
- Contemporary data platform architecture (Azure/Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake or equivalent) and ELT design
- Delivered reporting off S/4HANA or comparable ERP source data, with real understanding of the underlying finance data structures
- EPM integration experience — Oracle EPM/Hyperion, or equivalent planning and consolidation platform
- Business fluency: can sit with a partner or engagement leader, extract what they actually need, and say no to the rest
Preferred Professional services or partnership environments, with engagement economics literacy (realization, utilization, WIP, leverage); SAP Datasphere or SAC exposure; S/4HANA Public Cloud data extraction patterns and their limits; data governance certification; bilingual (EN/FR).
